Casey Pendergast works for the man, but its not her true passion. At 28, she makes a very good living and as all the material things she wants. She finds herself in a few moral dilemma’s as her PR company aims to use artists to promote products they wouldn’t normally use: in essence selling out. She herself selling out as she is essentially doing the same thing. There is a strong lesson here on the power of social media.
I really wanted to like this book as there were some really good messages outlined throughout the story; it just wasn’t cohesive. After reading the first few chapters I almost shelved it as a DNF, but in came Ben Dickinson and I was like “hey, this chemistry is well written just keep going.” Parts of this book are good, some are not.
I will say I did not like The Devil Wears Prada book, but loved the movie (when does anyone ever say that – that the movie is better than the book – right?!) I think this story may be a better fit for a screenplay. It has potential.
I do need to note: great cover design. It is certainly eye catching.
I received an arc of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

I haven’t read The Devil Wears Prada, so wouldn’t know if the book or the movie is better, so I’ll take your word. Pity this book wasn’t great for you. Agree the cover is lovely.

Thanks for this. I’ve had this book on my might read list because who can’t relate to selling out for the sake of their career…

I read an article last week about cover designs like this one. This is the trend for this year.
